Head to Head Hollywood Volume Chapter 791 Salzberger The New York Times has a long history of more than 150 years and is currently the third-largest selling newspaper in the United States after The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. The regular edition of the newspaper, published every Monday through Saturday, sells an average of more than 800,000 copies a day, priced at $2 each. A special edition will be released on Sunday, which will be a summary and summary commentary on the news events of the past week, as well as many columns in cultural fields such as food, travel, art, etc., which will sell more than 1.4 million copies, and each copy will be sold. The price will also reach $5. If it is a special holiday edition, commemorative edition, the price may reach $6! Huge sales and high prices have prompted the New York Times' sales to climb. However, this does not mean that the "New York Times" life is easy. Last year, the "New York Times" had a reporting scandal, and its famous reporter Jason Blair made many false reports in order to generate sales. Jason Blair was fired immediately, and the executive and managing editors of The New York Times both resigned. Arguably, that was the lowest point in the 152-year history of The New York Times. In order to restore reputation and sales, the owner of The New York Times, Arthur Salzberg Jr., made general content adjustments and began to pay more attention to the entertainment industry with higher traffic. Then it happened again. First, because of the Woody Allen incident, it got into Dunn; because of the "Fahrenheit 911" incident, it got into Disney. For two consecutive years of accidents, Arthur Salzberg Jr. had to make a larger strategic adjustment. It is far from enough to simply remove and replace a few editors-in-chief and deputy editors. Nor can it satisfy the appetite of New Universal, Disney and more media groups to help out. Out of respect for the Salzberg family, Dunn personally came to the door. I came to the simple and simple office of Arthur Salzberg Jr., but there were historical traces everywhere. "Mr. Salzberger, I've been in Los Angeles, and I've admired your name for a long time!" Dunn didn't pretend to be a winner, he looked very humble. Salzberg looked very capable and did not look old at all, but the bitterness between his brows could not be concealed. Although Tang En paid enough face and came to the door in person, but... as a loser, he didn't show enough sincerity and apology, so he couldn't satisfy the other party's appetite at all. Fortunately, he has made up his mind. It's time for a massive management shake-up at The New York Times. Two consecutive years of accidents, if it continues... he is likely to destroy the ancestral foundation! It has to be adjusted. Before adjusting, the first thing is to solve the trouble of Dunn Walker, it is best to turn passive into active. After a simple greeting, Salzberg invited Dunn to visit in his office and introduced one old object after another in the office. Behind every object, there is a history recorded. To be honest, Dunn was very touched. From the initial "War on Yellow News" to the later exposure of "Secret Pentagon Documents", "Anti-Vietnam War Horn", "Watergate Incident"... The New York Times is known as the backbone of American news, and it makes sense. Dunn was very interested in those stories and listened to the story for more than an hour before he sat down on an antique-grade chair. The atmosphere in the office is quite pleasant. Salzberg pointed to the chair and said with a smile: "That was the chair my grandfather used to work. It was in that chair that he heard the news that The New York Times won the case. The Supreme Court ruled that, Made the 'true malice' principle." This was a news case half a century ago. In order to ensure freedom of the press and the First Amendment to the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court makes a final decision that officials or public figures must follow the principle of "true malice" when alleging defamation sues the media for reporting. That is to say, there must be practical evidence to prove that the media has subjectively and deliberately distorted the facts. If it is a non-subjective report, even if the report is wrong and has caused great negative social impact, it cannot be held accountable. Salzberg's intention in saying this is obvious. Several reports in the New York Times this year... From a legal point of view, he is not justified! Dunn shook his head, he didn't want to argue, because it was meaningless, he came to receive "indemnity" today. "Salzberg, if my observation is correct, the New York Times has been taking the civilian route in order to expand its sales over the past few years, which is bound to follow the 'sentimental news' model of the gossip tabloids. This loses the dignity of a world-class newspaper." As an authoritative news report, it is to use objective remarks to express the cause and effect of the incident, and then let the readers analyze the connotation from the incident. Rather than instilling a particular idea into the reader as if to teach. The New York Times leans toward a liberal stance and is well-connected with Democratic politicians. In fact, starting with President Eisenhower, in every U.S. election, the supporters of The New York Times are Democrats. This has caused dissatisfaction among many elite readers. Salzberg, however, disapproved: "Any media has a fixed media position, the conservative "Wall Street Journal" and the liberal "New York Times" both have the value of existence, and there are also a number of inherent Readers." Having said that, he waved his hand and sighed: "Forget it, anyway, I won't care about these things in the future." For two consecutive years, something happened in the content report, he, the CEO To blame. Dunn raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" Salzberger said: "I will resign as CEO and retain the position of president, mainly focusing on the publishing business, content reporting and strategic development... I will not do so in the future. There will be too much intervention." Dunn's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, his courage is quite large. If you say quit, quit. The softness of the service is obvious! "So... the tendency of the New York Times' speech in the future?" Dunn looked at him heartily. Salzberg hesitated, then firmly said: "The tradition of the New York Times will not change, we are democratic liberal views, leaning towards the political nature of the Democratic Party. However, Janet is a feminist, her current affairs The social focus should be focused on this." "Janet? A female CEO?" Dunn blinked, feeling quite excited. Salzberg nodded and said, "That's right. Aren't you advocating feminism in the entertainment industry? I think that's a good thing that can be extended to the entire media industry. The New York Times has always been ahead of the curve, and we won't be left behind. "It was a surprise! The "New York Times" is about to have a feminist female CEO, so in the future... doesn't it mean that the New Globe and the "New York Times" will have a chance to "get along"? Salzberg... this is the next big game! It must have been intentional. Through this means, befriend New Universal and win over Dunn, so as to have a more solid and reliable media empire as a backer. This time it has been shown that political groups are unreliable. Although The New York Times has close ties with many bigwigs of the Democratic Party, when it is directly related to practical interests, politicians will not talk about their past feelings. As long as the Republicans and Democrats reach a private compromise, the New York Times will be thrown out without reservation, under the pressure of many heavyweight media empires such as New Universal, Disney, Warner, and News Corporation. In this case, it is the best choice for the New York Times to find the newest new global group in the media empire as an ally! Such a result, Tang En is naturally happy. The authority and influence of The New York Times is far from that of entertainment media. This ally... very reliable! "Have you been notified?" The smiles on Dunn's face became more and more numerous. He approves of Salzberg's choice. Those who know the times are Junjie! This is the big man who can do great things! Compared to Quentin Tarantino... well, that guy has been in the independent film circle all his life His emotional intelligence is so low, and there are so many big men who offend, the film can be shot again. Well, no matter how outstanding the talent is, it is difficult to have the opportunity to win the Oscar for best director in this life. In fact, it may be almost meaningless to win the Oscar for Best Picture for "Vulgar" back then, but it seems more reason to beat "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" to win the best director's golden man. The film's pioneering approach to shooting is no less than what Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and Goodfellas have meant and contributed to the film industry. Maybe... that's the difference between an artist and a businessman. Salzberg said: "I have talked to Janet, and it is gradually handing over power. You know, such a big change of power, especially the current situation of the "New York Times" ... It is still about stability. , give her some time to get used to it. However, before the end of the year, the handover should be completed." Tang En twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a chuckle: "Stability is the main thing? Not necessarily? Maybe take some more important measures to reverse it in one fell swoop. What about the situation? It can't be broken." "Huh?" A hint of suspicion flashed on Salzberger's face. Dunn smiled, "Can I meet this Janet?" "She is still familiar with her new job, at this time..." Salzberg was a little embarrassed. Dunn said with a smile: "Why, can't I send any gifts?" "Gifts?" "Didn't you say that she is a feminist, will the reporting tendency of the New York Times in the future turn to feminism?" "Yeah." "Don't you know...I'm the biggest feminist? Unfortunately, I also support the largest feminist foundation in the United States - the New Universal Women's Rights Protection Fund!" Salzberg Looking at Tang En dazedly, he finally understood. This kid wants to do something big again! However, the hint of "alliance" revealed by Dunn still made Salzberg feel great comfort. There is a play! Please remember this book's first domain name: .
